For more than 20 years, Joe Satriani has amazed and entertained the masses with his unique mastery of the electric guitar.

Now, the shred virtuoso is set to reinvigorate the long-time faithful and energize a new crop of fans with several exclusive performance dates on which he will showcase his 1987 breakthrough album, Surfing with the Alien. Among the intimate stops are New York City’s Gramercy Theatre, the Chicago House of Blues and the Los Angeles Roxy Theatre.

But perhaps the most exclusive date will take place in San Francisco at Hyde Street Studio, where just 40 contest winners will watch as Satch performs at the very studio where Surfing was recorded.

Tickets go on sale Sunday, July 15, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) exclusively through satriani.com. For all information and to purchase tickets, fans must go to satriani.com.
